Welcome

NHS Student Bursaries is part of Student Services and is supplied by the NHS Business Services Authority. We award and pay NHS Bursaries to students on pre-registration health professional training courses according to the NHS Bursary Scheme as published by the Department of Health.

If you are thinking of taking up (or are already enrolled on) a qualifying training course, you’ll find information on this site about who can apply for an NHS Bursary and how to apply.

What could I be entitled to?

Use our bursary calculators to find out if you are eligible to apply, what your student status will be (independent/dependent) and provide you an estimate of what you could receive in a basic award as well as any potential additional allowances. The calculators should only be used as a guide. We cannot confirm your eligibility or award entitlement until we have received and assessed your online application through the Bursary Online Support System (BOSS) and all of your supporting evidence, if requested.
